Children’s Ministry Inspiration Vault

Over the past weeks, we’ve seen numerous Christian responses to the tragedies of September 11. Some of those responses were made off-the-cuff, so to speak, and caused controversy. The controversial statements were later retracted and/or restated as to their meaning and intent. Communication is an evasive art at times and it seems that no one person has ever mastered it. As a Children’s Minister, how can you be sure you are communicating the tender love of God to those precious ones in your care?

As I consider this, I think of the scripture in 2 Timothy 4:2 which says, “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.” As we consider this verse together, I believe that all of us will conclude that if careful instruction has ever been needed, it is needed today in times like these. » I want to read more! »

The problem of a few carrying the majority’s workload is a common one no matter the size of the church. The reasons can vary. Our TV generation is used to just absorbing as opposed to being involved, and that lifestyle often carries over into the church. This can be due to either a lack of commitment or a lack of teaching.

The church body needs to be taught regularly that the body is not made up of one part but of many (1 Cor.12:14). If any part of the physical body, or the church body, is not functioning–not doing its part–the whole body suffers. » I want to read more! »

For a child to participate in your weekly service in an experiential way—expressing love to God, hearing from God, responding to God—the child needs to develop a proper sense of worship. Let’s cover several essential points of your service presentation, preparation, and perspective that will either develop or hinder your child’s sense of worship. Your child’s sense of worship ultimately determines his or her participation in the song service, in personal application and response to God’s Word, and the commitment to weekly personal changes during the altar time experience. » I want to read more! »

First, let’s cover the temptations to avoid and then end with the positive exhortations. » I want to read more! »

I chuckle every time I think about the interview for our first full-time Children’s Pastor position.  We had driven most of an hour trip toward the airport very early that morning only to realize we had left our tickets at the house.  We retrieved the tickets and made it to the airport just as the plane pulled away from the gate.  We were transferred to another airline.  They held the plane as we raced across the terminal. » I want to read more! »
